18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three 6f AW wins this year for new yard and short-headed at Hamilton (5f, good) eight days ago when back on turf; there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and he's a strong contender. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has been on a roll at Southwell in recent weeks and didn't run badly in defeat at Wolverhampton; carries a penalty for the cosy win five days ago but a greater concern would be his record on grass, which reads 1-33. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back on the up for Adam Kirby this spring, winning at Southwell (6f, AW) and Lingfield (5f, AW) as well as three second-place finishes; 0-16 on turf but effective on fast ground and this intermediate trip could be ideal. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bolted up on his stable debut at Southwell in March (6f); dropped to 5f for his last two starts, picked off late at Catterick (good ground) before a ready win on the AW track here nine days ago; another 7lb higher mark to contend with but unlikely he has reached his ceiling just yet. |

1st 2 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Won easily in today's headgear combination on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW) and ran big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Catterick (good; wore cheekpieces) last week; quickly back in action before latest 2lb rise takes effect and may still have more to offer for new trainer. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-22 in Ireland but form figures of 311 since joining James Owen and 2-2 since returned to turf back in cheekpieces; an 8lb rise will make life tougher but she's shortlisted having been taken out on account of rain-softened ground last weekend. |

|
1st 5 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
0-22 in Ireland, but has done well since joining James Owen, finishing a close third of seven at Southwell (6f, AW) last month (form worked out well) before getting off the mark at Yarmouth (6f, good) on Tuesday; 5lb penalty may not stop her, especially with Henry Callan's record this year reading 3112116114. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

0-20; tried in different headgear when a below-par seventh in 7f Doncaster handicap last time out; usual cheekpieces are refitted. |

7th 4 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
19-race maiden; had a near-miss at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last summer and was a fair fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) last week; seems tactically versatile and has each-way claims if he responds well to different headgear. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

18-race maiden but he was a close third here over 6f in March; below his best at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and now steps back up to 7f with cheekpieces back on; place claims at best. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner but below par of late, beating one in 1m handicap here two weeks ago; it's now 13 starts since that victory too. |
9/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Regularly on the premises but he has just one win (over 7f on this course) from 18 attempts, and first-time cheekpieces failed to galvanise him over 6f here last time. |
15/2 |

5th 5 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Ran well on his first three starts for this stable but last week's Wolverhampton effort was disappointing; connections now turn to cheekpieces. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |

5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Poor strike-rate and hasn't always looked the most eager under pressure; conditions no problem and on a dangerous mark so can't rule out another prominent showing. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last summer; doubled his tally when landing a classified event at Chelmsford in January; fair run over C&D on his penultimate start but he was 11l behind Tuscan Point over C&D ten days ago. |

8th 7 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

A visor for the first time saw him break his duck in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford in January; solid fourth over C&D two weeks ago; more needed to take this. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Capable at the right level, narrowly winning a C&D handicap in August (from dead-heater Top Biller) and ran his best race since when a clearcut winner of a 6f classified at Chelmsford in January when first-time visored; didn't get going soon enough back here since but can't rule out. |
